Unconstitutional Federal Aid Undercuts the “Brotherhood” of the StatesBy KrisAnne Hall, JD Patrick Henry, a designer of our Constitutional Republic, said, “I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.” What history lessons about the design of our Republic can we learn from natural disasters? As Americans we believe in helping each other in time of need, so the question is not should we help, but from where should disaster help come from? Looking at the design of our Republic, here are some hard observations. Constitutionally there is no delegation of authority for the federal government to act as emergency funding services for the states. James Madison, father of the Constitution and fourth president, declared before congress in 1792: “I, sir, have always conceived — I believe those who proposed the Constitution conceived — it is still more fully known, and more material to observe, that those who ratified the Constitution conceived — that this is not an indefinite government, deriving its powers from the general terms prefixed to the specified powers — but a limited government, tied down to the specified powers, which explain and define the general terms.” therevolutionaryact.com/federal-aid-undercuts-brotherhood-states/
